4850 on PCI-E 1.0

Could anyone please tell me if the 4850 will work ok on PCI-E 1.0 board and
if so how much performace do you lose from a PCI-E 2.0 motherboard ?

Cheers

I have a 4850 running on an old Asus M2N-E motherboard.

I am running it on a Dell Precision 470, PCI-E 1.0 and its fine.

As to losing speed, all things are not necessarily equal. In theory
PCI-E was twice as fast as AGP, but I recall AGP cards with the same
GPU beating their PCI-E cousins with similar MBs.

You probably won't see a difference unless you are using very fast
components everywhere else.

Thanks very much for replys

Should work fine. In most cases there will be very little to none in
performance-difference. There are some situation where PCI-E 2.0 might
give over 5 % increase, but those are quite rare...
